A device for endorsing screwed assemblies, includes a screw gun intended to be handled by an operator, and computer equipment connected to the screw gun, the screw gun being equipped with measurement sensors sending information representative of the torque applied by the screw gun and an angle of rotation applied by the screw gun, the computer equipment storing, in a memory, reference data relating to a screwed assembly to be produced, the computer equipment being configured to compare information representative of the angle and the torque measured during the assembly with the reference data, and to provide a notification as to the conformity of the measurements of the angle and the torque in relation to the reference data.
A device for producing and endorsing screwed assemblies, comprising a screw gun intended to be handled by an operator, and computer equipment connected to the screw gun, the screw gun being equipped with measurement sensors sending information representative of the torque applied by the screw gun and an angle of rotation applied by the screw gun, the computer equipment storing, in a memory, reference data relating to a screwed assembly to be produced, the computer equipment being configured to compare information representative of the angle and the torque measured during the assembly with the reference data, and to provide a notification as to the conformity of the measurements of the angle and the torque in relation to the reference data, the reference data containing a contact torque associated with a contact angle of multiple turns that is associated with a tolerance, the contact torque and the contact angle corresponding to the end of an assembly phase referred to as approach phase, and a tightening torque associated with a tightening angle, the contact torque being less than the tightening torque of the screwed assembly.
A method for producing and endorsing screwed assemblies, said method implementing a device comprising a screw gun intended to be handled by an operator, and computer equipment connected to the screw gun, the screw gun being equipped with measurement sensors sending information representative of the torque applied by the screw gun and an angle of rotation applied by the screw gun, the computer equipment storing, in a memory, reference data relating to a screwed assembly to be produced, the method comprising the following steps:
